I'm not a doctor but I received a doctorate from Patriot University and play a scientist-preacher on TV.

You're not a real P.U. grad! Is the basement finished or unfinished? One or two car garage?

[Junior]

You should include a /sarcasm tag in your posting. Otherwise folks might get the wrong idea.

[RightWhale]

Just can't fool anybody. :)

[sully777]

One or two car garage? You must be joking: Have you seen what I charge for my videos?

[VadeRetro]

Just what I thought! You've never even been on the campus of Patriot University. You don't know what kinds of dogs the neighbors have or anything.

RE #53 & #54: And you have the unmitigated temerity, the gall, the effrontery to question my aesthetic sense?

My dear sir - if you're going to go all "Patrick Henry for the Hoplite guy", you had best not bring your own cedentials into question with posts which make an Aztek look good.

Cordially yours,

w00t, etc.

2 more gaps.

I am a doctor! You're going to hell. I and the two shi tzus will pray for your soul.

Patriot University's Main Campus

Yeah, not my finest hour.

I guess that lecture hall also doubles as the mail room.

[VadeRetro]

Yes! There she is! The real thing. Her hallowed hall and all that.

"I am NOT a creationists" I believe you

Actually, it is likely that calex59's claim is correct. A plural descriptor is, with few exceptions, not applicable to an individual. In this case, calex59 may be a "creationist", but he or she is probably not a "creationists".

So... why is that flatworm wearing lipstick?

[Alter Kaker]

Doesn't sound like evolution to me. Sounds more like GOD!.....

So you're saying God said, "Over the course of the next 50 million years, let there be a sudden appearance of complex multicellular macroscopic organisms with hard parts (as opposed to earlier macroscopic soft organisms)?"

[Red Badger]

Something like that.........

[Alter Kaker]

I will wait until all the facts are in, the dating of these fosils may be off a tad, because some scientist(read most all of them) will fake, cheat, lie, steal and falsify findings in order to prove a theory.

All the facts are never in, in science. But this finding is being published in Nature, the respected peer-reviewed journal, meaning that independent scientists have vetted the methodology, findings and analysis and found them to be significant. It's irresponsible for you to accuse the researchers in this discovery of fraud, without one shred of evidence, withought having even read the article in question.

That all fossils before the Cambrian were "soft" bodied is an old theory and unprovable, as so many postulations from evos are.

You're sure you're not a creationist?

[Gumlegs]

Don't cry to hard if this proves to be just another fake, designed to fit a theory that so far has been unprovable!

Don't cry to whom?

[Gumlegs]

So... why is that flatworm wearing lipstick?

It's auditioning for a role on Teletubbies, which has homosexual activists giggling in anticipation of Jerry Falwell's statement denouncing it.
